"100,000? Am I hearing things?"
"She is offering 100,000 yuan to buy a butterfly, is she crazy?"
There were noisy arguments around them as people couldn't believe what they have just heard.
A few of them sneered at the obvious performance, this short-haired middle-aged woman should be a supporter. However, to increase the price so high, This level of support is too bad, right? Are you crazy about money?
"It shouldn't be like this right?" The middle-aged woman who wanted to buy the butterfly before is also skeptical.
"Maybe." The middle-aged man nodded.
At this time, a burly man squeezed into the crowd and smiled: "I will give you 110,000 for this butterfly."
A thin old man raised his hand: "120,000 yuan."
Those who thought that this was just a performance to jack up the price at the beginning were stunned, again and again, the burly man and the thin old man, aren't they the important guests of this pet show? They are all big sellers that major exhibitors want to invite. They wouldn't lower themselves to put on a performance, right?
"Gentleman, I want to know what kind of butterfly is this? Is it really worth the price?" A woman asked, she also likes butterflies, and she wanted to buy it, but she was so overwhelmed by the high price.
"This is a Morpho Helena, the most beautiful butterfly in the world…" The short-haired middle-aged woman didn't know whether it was because of her professional habit of a pet expert. She introduced it to everyone in detail, and many people were stunned. The middle-aged couple was also surprised. Some did not believe her and pulled out their mobile phones and searched online for Morpho Helena's information and began to compare the photos, and found that it is almost exactly the same.
Morpho Helena, also known as Helena Flamingo, Lepidoptera, Enterobiaceae, a butterfly of the genus Flamingo. Found in Brazil, Peru, and some other countries, They also live in the Amazon River Basin of Peru, South America, their numbers are very small and their reproductive capacity is weak, So they are very precious. There are only three wild specimens in China, two in Xi'An Butterfly Museum and one with a collector in Beijing.
The goddess of light, This Butterfly once appeared in the "World Most Beautiful Butterfly Show" and it was bid for more than 40,000 USD on American Sotheby's Auction. It will be converted into about 360,000 yuan at the current exchange rate.
Nowadays, this kind of butterfly has been artificially bred in Peru and it can be seen as an export commodity. It can also be seen in the domestic market. The quality of A1 is not more than 450 yuan, and the handicraft after wings spreading varies from 800 to 1000 yuan. However, most commercial specimens have been removed from the abdomen to avoid oil from the abdomen and damage to the wings during circulation.
However, in front of this Morpho Helena, it is absolutely impossible for it to be measured with the existing quality standards. It is absolutely insulting to apply A1 quality on it. This Morpho Helena has exceeded the measurement standard and has reached a new level.
So, several experts decided in their hearts that this must be the purest Morpho Helena in the wild. Compared to this one, the butterfly that got sold for 360,000 yuan is like a counterfeit.
And it's still alive! For some people, they do not like living specimens, because Morpho Helena does not have a long life and butterflies are too fragile, They lose their wings color easily and it affects their beauty, They want to make a specimen that is permanently preserved. However, for some businesses, this is a huge business opportunity, because perhaps this butterfly can be used to cultivate a many top Morpho Helena.
"150,000." The burly man suddenly increased the price again. The thin old man and the short-haired middle-aged woman frowned, and they hesitated.
"You don't have to argue now, I am not planning to sell it for a while and the pet show has not yet finished, leave your contact information with me, I will talk to you later." Su Jing smiled and said.
"Young man, Morpho Helena's wings are very fragile. Don't break them and be very carefull with them."
"Be careful not to frighten it, or it will definitely break its wings when it hits anything while flying."
"I think you'd better sell it to me and make specimens as soon as possible, otherwise It will be worthless with broken wings."
The burly man, the thin old man, the short-haired middle-aged woman obviously want this butterfly, and they are worried that the butterfly will be damaged, but Su Jing insists that he will not sell it for a while, and they have no choice but to leave a business card.
Su Jing takes their business cards and collects them one by one. In his mind, he has already figured out a way to make money. He doesn't want to sell this Morpho Helena. He doesn't want to sell it to any of them. He wants to sell specimens, so as to avoid being nurtured by others. Once nurtured by others, he will lose his advantage.
Seeing that someone gave a high price of 150,000 yuan and Su Jing actually did not sell, many people complained. The middle-aged women who watched the drama had already retired in disgrace, and she wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.
"Last time, that snail, Was it really worth more than three thousand?" The middle-aged woman asked her husband with a sullen look.
"I have a friend who works in oceanarium, we can ask him." The middle-aged man took a picture of Nautilus last time and sent it to his friend who knows about this stuff. He asked what snail it was and what price it was probably worth.
"This is a Nautilus. Where did you take it?" The friend sent a text message soon.
"Some time ago, a young man caught it on the beach."
"Come on, why are so many people so lucky these days, Why can't I catch one."
"What do mean, Is this Nautilus so precious?"
"Nonsense, of course, is precious. The Zhongyun Oceanarium bought one from Su Family Village some time ago and spent 150,000 yuan on it. Although the price was risen due to pregnancy, even ordinary Nautilus costs at least 30,000 yuan."
"…" The middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman looked at each other with a glance at their faces and they saw stunned faces on each other. They couldn't help but sigh.
...
"Shouldn't this butterfly go to the insect show? What's it doing in the pet show? While everyone was lamenting at the beauty and preciousness of the Morpho Helena, a strange voice came from the crowd.
"It's none of your business, is it?" Zhu Jianhua squinted.
"I am also one of the exhibitors. You are disturbing the order, So it is my business. Not only me, but several exhibitors from nearby have the same opinions. I advise you to take this butterfly away as soon as possible." A young man with many acne scars on his face came out from the crowd and as he said many other exibiters were dissatisfied because people were attracted to this side.
"Who is he?" Su Jing asked in a low voice.
"Wei Qiang, the manager of a branch of Pella Pet Shop in Zhongyun City, He is a competitor to our Perfect Pet Paradise." Zhu Jianhua whispered.
"So it is." Su Jing nodded and had an idea. He was undoubtedly on board with the Perfect Pet Paradise. His interests were closely related to theirs. Not only were some of his pets sold, but even Dragon Li Cat was in the play and it was with the Perfect Pet Paradise. He would continue to cooperate with them in the future. The reputation of Perfect Pet Paradise had a great impact on Su Jing's interests.
"My butterfly is a pet," Su Jing said.
"Haha, That's hilarious, can this even be considered as a pet?" Wei Qiang laughed exaggeratively.
"That, according to what you mean, what is a pet? What are their standards?" Su Jing asked in a calm and authentic voice.
"Look at it." Wei Qiang pulled forward a Husky, gave an order, and threw a ball out. The Husky ran to pick up the ball and came back. Wei Qiang said, "See, this can be called a pet. That butterfly can only be regarded as an insect, a commodity."
"Ha-ha, you have a good idea." Su Jing smiled, which made many people around him puzzled. Zhu Jianhua was stunned. What did Su Jing want to do?
